More Mini Quilting - ACEO's

I recently learned about ACEO's. ACEO stands for Art Cards Editions and Originals. They are kind of like a trading card for artists. They always measure 2-1/2" x 3-1/2", and people collect them. I've seen a few quilty ACEO's, and I thought I'd try my hand at making one. The result is "Love Fan", pictured above.

This was really fun to make, and, uh-oh!...slightly addictive. I don't know how many I'm going to make. I've always had a love for miniatures. We'll see what happens.

Here's a preview of ACEO #2. I've started by making this little Oak Leaf Wreath block. It's tiny - 2-1/2" x 2-1/2". I should make some more progress on this today, as we are getting a nice, steady, all day rain from the remnants of Tropical Storm Beryl.

About Me

Hello. I'm a quilt designer with a love of color. I spend my days sewing in an old vintage farmhouse in the rolling countryside of North Carolina with my children, cats, and nature all around. The sky enchants me. It's ever changing colors and moods give me daily inspiration. Welcome.
